Ukraine is a partner “in a certain sense” but should stop striking Russian oil refineries, Vance says
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Ukraine was a partner of the United States “in a certain sense,” but argued that Kyiv should stop striking Russian oil refineries.
In an interview, Vance stated that Ukraine is a partner "in a certain sense" but their interests sometimes diverge. He expressed disagreement with Ukraine's strategy of targeting Russian oil refineries, as it contributes to increased energy prices for Americans. Vance also clarified that they do not have a formal alliance with Ukraine, as they are not part of NATO.
He emphasized that Ukraine is a commendable nation with admirable people, and they will collaborate on certain matters but also hold differing views on others. President Trump, meanwhile, claimed he did not wish to make decisions that might drive Russia further away from peace talks and criticized Zelensky for not desiring the war's conclusion.
